Goodbye! I'm Being Reincarnated!, Vol. 2
"Welcome to Phatulia ... Great Hero." Ange, princess from another world, has come to Earth to "reincarnate" hapless teen Yuya, so he can become the hero he's destined to be. Unfortunately, the only way to trigger this is to kill him—and after a pitched battle, her blade has penetrated his heart!

If the hero will not reincarnate into the isekai, the other world will come to the hero. There are twists and revelations to be had in this second volume.

What is bad in the end
Although many of the characters are likable like they could all be a friend of some sort even though they come from another world with RPG style rules this story is also a little annoying when the "hero" of the story casually throws out the question of do you want to sleep with me after his friend (who by the way not only saved his life but put her own life in danger) came to check on him. Thank goodness she is written as a ditz and the "bad guys" need to keep him alive or he might have found himself removed from the story long ago.
For those that like cute girls but also want battle kind of book this series looks to be around 4 volumes long so it might not be too much of an investment if you still enjoying it by this point but I for one will probably put this series on hold until it shows up on Kindle Unlimited or as part of a Humble Bundle to see if I like the end of the series. For now I am not overly curious one way or another with other series just coming off as better in general thus being worth the price.

This is rather fun, to say the least.
Man, than Konami... woowee! Every guy needs a cutie like her in their life. She's adorable. Such a sweet girl. Rather pleasant to the eyes, too. That demon lord girl is definitely cute, too. As for the psycho princess, she may be cute, but uhm, her craziness makes her unappealing. Oh that ninja girl is cute, too. In a nerdy sort of way. This story is unusual, to be sure. The good person is actually evil, the bad guys are actually good. It all boils down to a matter of perspective. Well our hero is certainly trying his best to train. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

Great looking girls
All the girls are just so cute and pretty. Is this going to be a harem story. The human princess is so weird. Anyway keep up the good work and keep them coming.

Same as before.
Pretty much just like the last one. Same good points, same good art. Story is getting a bit more developed.

Yeah it's still just an ok read, our protagonist who got killed last volume, somehow survived. Which is kind of expected for this series, what I do like about this is all the RPG references. Like boosting skill stats to unlock other things, necromancers using their own life force when restoring the dead, it's all quite interesting.
It's just a shame that the story is all very so so, there is a bit where they are explaining what's happened, since the hero got KO'd. For some reason they take him to a spa where they're all naked and of course he's a pervert and enjoying the view. So yeah very generic, if the series is on sale again, I'll probably read the rest as there are only 5 volumes.

In my last review, I somewhat ran down what the “genre” of Isekai is, pointed out that I usually avoid books like this, then pointed out that Goodbye! I’m Being Reincarnated! is fairly different to a lot of others. Before reading this review of volume two, I’d recommend checking that one out. Granted, this difference seems somewhat superficial seeing that a lot of the tropes are still there, just subverted for laughs. What helps is that the writer’s self-awareness of these tropes makes it a bit more enjoyable. This second volume still does the same, but does veer a tad bit towards being your standard Isekai which is a bit disappointing. It’s nowhere near the point where I won’t try to finish this at some point, but it is what it is.
“”Welcome to Phatulia… Great Hero.” Ange, princess from another world, has come to Earth to “reincarnate” hapless teen Yuya, so he can become the hero he’s destined to be. Unfortunately, the only way to trigger this is to kill him — and after a pitched battle, her blade has penetrated his heart! Is this the end of high-school life and the start of a breathtaking new legend, or…? “
At the end of the last book, Angelia seemingly got her wish of murdering Yuya, putting the chain of events into place that would send him to her world in order to become the destined “Great Hero” of legend. What she didn’t take into account was that Luciel had a convenient Deus Ex Machina device up her sleeve that granted Yuya’s childhood friend, and stereotypical top-heavy possible love interest – Konami, the power of a Dark Priestess. This is a “banned class” from Phatulia (since that plane seems to overwhelmingly have videogame rules) and has the ability to resurrect someone. The flip-side is that upon using this, it can nearly kill the wielder in the process.
The rest of the book goes to try to humanize Angelia a bit, and then explain that her eagerness to kill Yuya is directly tied to the fact that she will die if her quest is not completed. I’m sure this will result in her not actually being the villain, and everyone joining up to fight whoever is actually in charge. It’s a tad predictable, but in a “cheesecake book” like this, I am not exactly expecting earth-shattering writing.
I was a bit disappointed that the author opted for The Kingdom of Phatulia having videogame stuff in it – it would have been much better had this stayed more of a generalized fantasy setting in my opinion. Having the characters have access to what basically amount to pop-up screens, “level up” menus, lists of attacks etc. makes it somewhat silly. Had they established that Phatulia was, in fact, a virtual world of some sort it would have been better I suppose. This one choice put the story on track to being more of a generic Isekai, which made me sad.
Overall, I still like this story, I just wish they wouldn’t have veered too far into everyone’s comfort-zone as they did. I believe there are still two volumes out there, so I am really hoping the interesting premise from the first isn’t completely squandered. This volume also veers heavily into the “naughty” artwork area, which is expected in something like this, but teeters on becoming “an entirely different genre” if they don’t watch it. I’m no prude, I read tons of European comics that would be considered borderline smut, but the first volume is not that bad compared to this so it seems out of place. It appears it was a conscious effort to “spice the book up”. I will be reading more, so stay tuned for the next review in the future!

Worth Reading
Worth Reading if you are into these types of stories but don't expect anything too exciting.
Tried and True is a saying for a reason... I don't mind a story that knows itself and stays in its lane. This story does a decent job with the usual tropes while also giving it a fun, unique way of imagining it.

This manga is NUTSSSSS!
I don't even know where to begin. We threw in even more elements in this volume! Now we're a non-standard reverse isekai, horror/tagedy, school life/slice of life, romantic comedy, ecchi (mostly SFW kind) gag manga all in one? It's definitely all of those in different spots, and when it get brutal it REALLY gets brutal! The story is moving along though, and somehow it is cohesive. I'm kind of reading this just to see if it's a trainwreck waiting to happen, or pure genius at this point LMAO!!
